@David-Lor Hi there. Awesome piece of code. any chance this can be run without the need to keep the terminal window open and to autostart at boot?

Hello there!

Some ways to achieve what you want, that I can think of:

Run the script with a & at the end, for making it work at background (https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-run-linux-commands-in-background/).
Create another script that calls the mqtt2notifysend script with your parameters, then make it executable and double-click it for opening in background (or run in terminal with & at the end).
Make the script with arguments be called upon boot or login (e.g. with cron: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/crontab-reboot). Your desktop environment (Gnome, KDE, XFCE, whatever) may also feature a way for running custom commands when you log in (e.g. on Gnome: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/shell-apps-auto-start.html.en)
